EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of community and faith during a Whit Walk procession in Hyde, Cheshire, England, in the year 1912. The image features members of St Andrew's Sunday School proudly making their way through the streets, adorned in their white garments and carrying colorful banners and flowers. Whit Walks were an annual tradition in many British towns and villages, with the tradition dating back to the 16th century. The walks were held on Whit Sunday, the day after Pentecost, and were a celebration of the Christian faith and the coming of summer. The children in this photograph, dressed in their best, appear to be filled with a sense of joy and excitement as they participate in this cherished community event. The backdrop of the industrial town of Hyde, with its red-brick buildings and chimneys, serves as a reminder of the economic realities of the time, yet the scene remains one of unity and hope. This historical photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the lives of people who came before us and the traditions that shaped their communities.
